About this fabric

The colour moves between near-black charcoal and softer graphite grey, giving the cloth depth without introducing a contrasting pattern. Fine horizontal and vertical threads create a compact woven texture, while subtle shifts in the surface catch the light unevenly. The dense appearance and restrained design make this textile particularly well suited to upholstery, where the dark tone can provide a strong, contemporary foundation. No performance features or further specification data are supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Dandy 7 on a contemporary sofa, dining chair or occasional chair when a room needs a deep charcoal anchor. Balance its cool grey depth with ivory, pale timber, aged brass or softly coloured cushions.

Use this deep charcoal grey as a grounding upholstery cloth, pairing its softly mottled surface with lighter woods, brushed metal or warm neutral textiles.

Dandy 7 is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
